This was our 4th trip to Oregon inlet. We were there on a holiday weekend and the campground was full. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. When full it can be a little tricky getting in to some sites. The only issue we had was there is only one dump connection and had to wait about 30 min.

It was quite while we was there and clean. We felt safe as park Rangers patrolled.

Great location! The site had a good amount of sand spurs but other than that, it was well kept.

Great first experience in the area. Showers in the campground were very lacking in design, basically a public restroom stall sat on top of a dune, little more than an outdoor shower with walls and a roof. Was however a wonderful experience. Would recommend to any other first timers to plan on using the shower in the RV, and purchasing an OSV permit for the beach.

Sat/Sun 10/5&6 - site was fine. Showers were warm (I was surprised). Ocean access over dunes was a little tedious, but....😊

Away from the crowds! Great beach,nice sites.
The new restaurant Sea Chef at the marina was excellent- some of 5ge best shrimp I have ever eaten.
Unfortunately the folks across from us ran their generator from 8am until 10 pm. Fewer hrs would be great as well as mor3 sites w electric.
